Hi Tom, You started well in the sense that the main page of ParaViewWeb is here: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaViewWeb
Although, setting up a web server that use ParaView to generate interactive 3D content requires to build the tools and most of its dependency. On Unix type platform (Linux, Mac, ...) those steps are easy to reproduce which is not the case on window if you never did it before. Moreover, no-one (that I know of) ever deployed a ParaViewWeb server on windows. So you should consider ParaViewWeb as Unix only (server side). If you managed to find a Linux or a Mac for your server, you will first need to compile ParaView. I guess you should find enough documentation on the web on how to do it. Once you achieved that, the experience you gained during that process should help you understanding what is written in the ParaViewWeb building page. If you build ParaView, don't bother with the GUI and Qt part as it is not needed for ParaViewWeb, just disable them at configuration time using CMake. If you need some explanation on how to build ParaView on Linux, then post another email on the mailing list, some other community member may be able to help.
